Chapter 2108 A Piece of ???

2108 A Piece of ???

The screams of the corrupted elder dryad died down as her body burned fiercely. Kanlaon did not just enchant his attack with the flame attribute but also with nether energy. Not only were the flames already deadly to the corrupted elder dryad but the nether energy also burned her soul as a result. The corrupted elder dryad screamed out loud as her body and soul burned slowly as if she was being tortured.

The corrupted elder dryad knew that it was not going to succeed in this fight and decided to retreat. Before the corrupted elder dryad retreated, she released a powerful spike from her body which headed towards Adrian. This was the last-ditch attempt of the corrupted elder dryad to try and kill Adrian as she knew that he was a summoner. As long as the summoner dies, she might not need to escape with her life.

Adrian sensed the danger, but it was actually something that he could not see clearly. In order to know where that danger was, Adrian used some of his remaining mana to stop time. When Adrian stopped time, it was when he saw the threat that was about to take his life. A large thorny stake was about three inches near his face.

"Such a close call. So, there are attacks that even I cannot see or even my soulbounds." Adrian stated as he created a small portal in front of his face.

Adrian made time flow again and the corrupted elder dryad was thrilled as her hidden attack was not detected. The corrupted elder dryad was about to laugh when something pierced her head. She was supposed to escape and give information to her queen. The corrupted elder dryad could only lament as her lifeless body dropped down and burned to ashes. A flower bud looking object dropped as well and this was the Grafts of the defeated corrupted elder dryad.

[You have defeated the corrupted elder dryad. You have gained experience points.]

Adrian coughed up blood as he used too much mana in order to create a rift that redirected the thorn that the corrupted elder dryad shot out. This was now the default reaction for Adrian when he bottoms out his mana as health is used instead. He did not know when this happened as normal people even demons will experience dizziness when they lose all their mana.

"Maybe it is one of the perks of being a Champion? There are stories of myths about champions fighting to the death despite being tired and exhausted. I can finally look at that stone." Adrian stated as he pulled out the stone from his pocket since he could not hide it in his inventory.

"You can have it since I now have ownership of it. I have also completed the quest so there are no problems." Adrian stated as he looked at the notification.

"Thank you, master. I will make sure to decode its power for you." Paradox stated.

[You have completed the quest 'Unknown Object of Power'.]

[You have gained ownership of the Unknown Object of Power that the Black Fairy Mavros previously used.]

[You can now get the item promised by the Fairy King once you report that you have gained the Unknown Object of Power.]

Adrian looked around and saw that he basically destroyed a part of the forest. He could have restored it, but Wisteria is not with him. Adrian drank a mana potion and tried to revert time in order to restore at least the area. He did not summon Saena as well because she was guarding Wisteria in Avalon.

"I guess that is the best that I can do. Still, that dryad is a bit strange as she had a human soul is mixed in with her own." Adrian stated as he restored most of the land that he destroyed but the trees that died could not be reverted back since they are still alive. He also found it odd that a dryad has two souls in her body but it was fortunate that both passed to the afterlife.

Adrian then picked up the flower bud that is the Grafts of the corrupted elder dryad. Adrian could feel the immense cursed energy in the Grafts as if it was used in a foul ritual. He hid this in his inventory and determine to give it to Hexy since she would be the only one that can purify such an item. Seeing that he did all he could, Adrian created a portal and vanished from his location.

"She is gone! Scouts, go to the location and investigate what happened to one of our own. Retrieve her Grafts if it is still there." The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she was connected to all of the dryads that she revived. She wanted to believe that the dryad made a mistake and offended someone but the disapearance was sudden.
